[Verso 1]
G C
I pulled the car by the Westbrook Mall,
G D
But theres nothing left of the jock hall.
G C
Just an empty lot where the stories grew,
G D
And a chain-link fence where the wind blows through.
G C
No McDonalds run when the bell would ring,
G D
Now the silence there says everything.
G C
The bricks are gone, hauled away in a gear,
G D
But I can still see us all standing right here.
[Verso 2]
G C
Remember the courtyard, tucked out of sight?
G D
The ghosts of the smoke in the morning light.
G C
The rebels, the dreamers, the kids in the hall,
G D
Now theres nothing but grass where we had it all.
G C
And Jock Halls a memory, leveled and flat,
G D
Funny how a lifetime can change just like that.
G C
The gym lights have all gone dark,
G D
But I can still feel the heat of that Em Fest spark.
[Refrão]
G C
Oh, Manning, they tore it down,
G D
But youre still the heart of this old town.
G C
From the ghosts of Jock Hall to the Em Fest lights,
G D
The laughter and the humid autumn nights.
G C
Whatever happened to the girls and the boys?
G D
Did we find the peace or just more noise?
G C
Looking back now through the golden haze,
G D G
At those Manning high school days.
[Verso 3]
G C
Now Em Fest is just a dance in my mind,
G D
And were all acting a brand new age.
G C
I wonder if the quarterbacks still in town,
G D
Or if the prom queen ever wears her crown.
G C
Does it matter that the walls are gone to dust?
G D
When the people we were are still inside of us?
G C
I took a walk past the 7-11,
G D
Where a blue raspberry slurpee felt like heaven.
G C
The malls still watching the empty space,
G D
Like its looking for a familiar face.
G C
We didn't know then it was the "good old days,"
G D
Before the halls vanished in a wrecking-ball haze.
[Refrão]
G C
Oh, Manning, they tore it down,
G D
But youre still the heart of this old town.
G C
From the ghosts of Jock Hall to the Em Fest lights,
G D
The laughter and the humid autumn nights.
G C
Whatever happened to the girls and the boys?
G D
Did we find the peace or just more noise?
G C
Looking back now through the golden haze,
G D G
At those Manning high school days.
Outro
Em C
Yeah, the dirt is bare where we used to shine,
G D
Miles away from that Westbrook line.
Em C
No lockers to lean on, no morning bell
G D G
But Manning, we remember you well.
G C
Yeah, we remember it all. Even after the fall.
